To cZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Arman Sims, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Brooklyn, Kings county, State of New York, have invented anImprovement in Toilet-Article Packages, of which the ,following is aspecification.

The present invention relates to an improvement in toilet articlepackages, one oblG ject being to provide a package which will not onlybe attractive in appearance but which-will also protect the articleinclosed and permit inspection thereof without exposing it.

One embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the drawingsaccompanying the present specification and in wh1ch- Figure l is a frontelevation, and

i Fig. 2, a longitudinal vertical section.

Referring to the drawings, an article to be carried in the package suchas a powder puff l orother toilet accessory is inclosed 1n an envelopmade of transparent paper or other suitable material having an openingat one end to ermit the insertion and removal of the artic e, saidopening being closed by a I flap-2 which may be secured in closedposition by an application of mucilage or other adhesive material, ormay be closed by 6 means of a. superposed sticker overlapping both theflap 2 and the rear wall of the envelop. The front wall of thetransparent envelop is provided with an opening 3 and an insert 4bearing printed or pictorial mat- 85 ter is positioned inside theenvelopbetween said opening 3 and the toilet article 1 in such a mannerthat a portion of the printed or pictorial matter on the insert isvisible directly through the opening 3 while the re 40 mainder of theprinted or pictorial matter is visible through that portion of thetransparent wall which surrounds the openin 3.

Thus, from the foregoing description ta en in connection with thedrawings, it appears that a package embodying my invention provides areceptacle which permits inspection of the article through thetransparent rear wall and which is also attractive in appearance,presenting a unique. pictorial eii'ect by reason of the framing of aportion of the printed or pictorial matter without sacrificing theefiectiveness' oi the-package as a protective covering. A. Earth -radvan- Ell Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed April 2,

Patented July 5, rear;

1921. Serial No. 457,917.

tageresiding in the construction hereinabove describedis that thepackage may be varied in appearance by varying the pictorial or printedportions of the insert either in subject matter or in color or in both.

This invention has successfully solved a attractively coloredinscription or picture.

Under these circumstances, the edge of the hole in the front wall of theenvelop may serve as a frame for a small color print convenientlyappearing'on a card insert While the wall surrounding the hole permitsthe rest of the printed or pictorial matter to be seen, but in adifferent tone. Furthermore, where the insert is of relatively greaterstiffness than the material of the envelop, its corners will projectinto the envelop corners and prevent the same from collapsing or losingtheir rectangular contour. This package has found great favor in thetrade and is looked upon as a valuable contribution thereto and as asolution of a difi'icult selling problem. a

I claim as my invention: A toilet article package comprising ,in

combination a powder pufl, a transparent envelop inclosing said pufi andthrough one wall of which the powder puff may be in spected, the otherwall of said envelop having ahole of any desired shape, and a printed orpictorially ornamented insert inter posed between the hole andthe-powder put? to protect the puff, to maintain the envelop insubstantially extended form, and to present through the hole anunobstructed view, of printed or pictorial matter on its ex posedsurface.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this31st day of March 1921. ABNER S IRIS.
